LTTTC Two Week Wait - May/June 2008

[Bel]

Hi All,

Hope you are all being kept nice and busy this weekend so that it flies by. My DH is asleep after working last night so I'm catching up on some TV.

I'm doing pretty good. 4 more sleeps to go til BT. Just begging that witch to stay away. I am feeling pretty positive though. Said to DH last night I am staying very positive but I'm also a realist. I think it's a good balance. That way if I do receive bad news HOPEFULLY I won't crash and burn. Though I have to admit I'm not sure if I can deal with bad news again.. See what I mean when I say mind games!!! Grrrr!!

So have a great day and will chat soon. Thanks for all the hellos and kind words.

Hugs Bel

Hi everyone.. wow! this is a busy thread!

Bel, you make me laugh. 2 weeks off from work is good for avoiding work stress but you've got so much time to think about everything else!! You're doing really well. I love the toilet mantra... you're not saying that aloud are you??!!!

Janie, hope the long weekend is a relaxing one for you. The emotion and stress of treatment can be a bit much sometimes. Sounds like your DH is a fantastic support.

Karly, not long until your BT. Hope you're feeling well and you start the string of BFP news from all of us!

Rustybeth, how are you feeling? Hoping today's acupuncture helps.

Saph, how's DS? It takes a few days to get back on top of things - sleep, washing!! - when your little one is so sick. Hope you're doing ok.

Welcome Smithy.. Sending you lots of

Hi to anyone I missed. Hope you're all enjoying the long weekend.

Kaydee- I'm glad I make you laugh...I'm kind of doing my own head in today!! Ok..so the toilet mantra. SOMETIMES I do say out loud PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! See what I am reduced to??!! It's madness really!

Hugs Bel

Hi girls.. This is my first ever posting... and I have read probably thousands of others, which have been both uplifting and dashed hopes! but have ultimately given me a much needed somewhere to go with all these spriralling feelings of torment!

I am on the other side of the world to many of you girls but, we do share a really important something, which is a BT date of the 13th, this Friday!.. It feels less isolating to know there is someone else out there at the same stage! and there are 2 of you I have seen so far,RustyBeth and CountryBlue, and I think RustyBeth and I are similar age, I'm a bit older.


This is my third time in the 2WW, previously had 1 2dt (3 x 4cells embryons transferred-none frozen) ...13dt (3 x embryons transferred-8/7/6 cells-one frozen) with ICSI

This 2ww is with FET and experiences so far this 2ww, cramps for first 7 days, bloated tummy, headaches pretty quickly after transfer (bad aches at top of neck/back of head). Been very tired into the 2nd half and the cramping subsided, only the usual morning bowel movement type discomfort (sorry TMI!!), which I constantly worry is AF!! Scared to go, just in case! Strange dreams. Shortness of breath (i think progesterone pessaries cause this) Oh..and strange tasting mouth, which I think comes with being overtired?

Been trying to rest/stay occupied, sleep/exercise, forget/obsess!!!

Seem to have GOT THROUGH this far!.. not sure what will keep me sane through the coming week.

Sun is shining, suprisingly for UK, so off to beach for the afternoon, so that will be some hours passed! (during which I am sure there will be some hopeful

Wishes for us all: Calm, strength, PMA, and most of all lots of :goodluck2: babydust and sticky vibes

Will be keeping an eye on how you all doing.. extra close on the friday girls!

Hello All,

Well I am still a sad case although I have more reason today...I got a BFN.....I did a HPT on Friday night and got a fainish BFP but that was expected cos the prgnyl would have still been in my system. The clinic told me I could wait til today to do it as my BT was due today but being a Sun they would do in Mon. Anyway I was going to the premier of Sex and the City and it was a full on dress and hair affair. Woke up early as pre movie stuff started at 9 and i had to get organised. Felt a bit off when I woke so thought I would do the test first thing. Waited about 5 mins and BFN... cried my poor little heart out. I was devestated. Went out to the movie and cried numerous times. I have no idea what happend in the movie. I dropped my friend home and began to drive home and the tears just kept coming. Then i was lost. I had to call my DH and ask how to get home. Through my crying and sniffing he had no idea where i was and eventually I made it home. The first thing I did was check the HPT again and there was a faint line on it. Probably just something that happens after a while.

So tomorrow is the big day and I already have a heads up on whats going on. Im kind of glad I know now and not have to hear it from a stranger and burst into tears on the phone (im sure i will anyway). I have slept all afternoon and cried when I am awake. I have very sore eyes which need to go back to sleep so I they dont look puffy tomorrow.

Tarkine...Congrats on the BFP....


Anyways thanks for all being supportive dureing my 2ww and I wish you all the best of luck in getting that BFP.

I will be keeping an eye on you all to see whats happening.

Bye

Hi Girls,

Sorry I haven't been in and thanks for asking about me.

The TWW is doing my head in. every litlle twinge I get or any possible symptom I'm trying to read too much into and then I remember most are signs of AF too!!!

Anyway good to catch up with you all.

to everyone.

And for lots of BFP's.

Evening all,

I'm starting to go a bit crazy with only 4 sleeps to go. I'm actually really scared today. My BB's aren't as sore as they have been the last few days. They are still sore but I know my body so well. Last time I was pg they were sore...ok, now I''m doing my head in. Feeling myself up every couple of hours like some sicko. I am just desperate for this cycle to work. It is so very hard to do IVF with my job and I am seriously thinking of taking 6 months off if this cycle doesn't work just to focus on this TTC. I'll just work a casual job to bring some money in to cover all these crazy bills. Just can't juggle my job anymore and TTC.

Welcome Rach. Hope your stay here is easy, stress free and a one you get through with your sanity intact at the end!!

So how is everyone else going? Any more crazy's in here or am I pretty much alone??!!

Hope you all are having a good night. I'm probably the only one awake right now..am off to bed now to read a trashy book so I can stop thinking about all of this.

Night all
Hugs Bel

Kema- Ok, just read that this TWW is doing your head in too...so I'm not alone. It's bad when it gets like this isn't it?? So hard to not lose it. BUT be strong. I am trying so hard to stay strong too. We'll all get there together.

Hugs Bel

Rach. Best wishes for a speedy TWW and the result at the end of it all is a BFP!!

Hi Kema. Hope you're going ok. When do you BT?

Bel, it's so hard not to worry when you are getting closer and closer to BT day. I totally understand where you're coming from with work vs TTC. The travelling and juggling of appts can be exhausting. Fingers crossed you'll get your BFP this time round and you won't need to worry about it.

[Kema]

Good Morning

Kaydee - I'm really good thanks. My blood test isn't until next Monday 16/6. I'm only 1 week into it and I'm already going nuts.

If we cant obsess in the TWW when can we?

Bel - I too understand about work, when I told my boss I had to do IVF she was really understanding, then when I officially started her attitude changed and now I try to make my appointments on my days off, not an easy task because no one seems to get that you have to be at your clinic on certain days of your cycle not just when you have a day off. I have sooo much sick leave its not funny and I still cop attitude.

Sorry about the rant.

to everyone else, hope all is well.

[nanananny]

I know I told them at work because the boss thought I was sick going in for all these OPU's I knew they were selling the business so I thought what do they care if I'm trying to get pregnant? Now the new owners are coming in and if this cycle doesn't work I want to begin again immediately. So that's another 2 days off and I've taken to having the BT day off too.

There's no way I can concentrate at work knowing the results come in at 1:30pm and I don't finish until 5:30. Beside's it's not the type of news I want to get at work good or bad.

My BT is this Friday the 13th. Oooooo Friday the 13th :/
